I'm the Wiz, and nobody beats me!
I think "boiled" meaning "not boiled but full of driers" goes back 50 years or more. Am I wrong?
Probably not that far back. Maybe the late 80's early 90's? when all the paint was being changed with the unwanted help of the EPA.
With that screw on cap and no metric labeling I'll bet it's older than 15-20 years. Does the can have a bar code? That's a keeper. And it says "pure."
Bar code? Haha! I just did the math. When you get old time flies and it even gets harder to remember time. That can was from at least the early to mid 80's.
I had a half used gallon can of real boiled linseed oil in my shed and when I moving out of that house I noticed that the can was empty. Half a gallon drained out all over the concrete and was cured over many years. I tried like heck to clean up that mess but wasn't very successful. It was in a clump that was stuck to the slab and a 1-1/2" wood chisel and 28 oz hammer could not remove it. It was hard but not brittle, somewhat resin like and similar to maybe an old car tire. The papers to the house were signed so I said the heck with it and left it. lol
